The Rab Firewall Guide Jacket is a rugged, high-performance waterproof shell built for serious mountain use in the harshest conditions. From sustained Scottish winter storms to sudden alpine weather shifts, it delivers uncompromising protection and durability for climbers, guides, and dedicated alpinists.
Constructed with tough 40D 3-layer Pertex® Shield fabric, it provides reliable waterproofing and windproof performance while standing up to repeated abrasion from rock, ice, and pack use. Designed with mountain movement in mind, the articulated sleeves allow unrestricted reach for technical climbing and ice tool placement, ensuring full mobility on steep terrain.
Purpose-built features support efficient movement in technical environments, helping you stay focused on the climb rather than your gear. Durable, protective, and engineered for day-in, day-out use, the Firewall Guide Jacket is a dependable companion when conditions are at their most demanding.
